James 5:7-8 (7) Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. (8) You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
I saw this monster size (1 gallon) canning jar a couple months ago at a grocery/department store. It can’t be used for actual canning, but as a table centerpiece and serving dish (sort of) the possibilities are endless!!
It’s perfect for a

In over 14 years of marriage, I can’t think of a single time I’ve purchased fresh fish at the supermarket … until last month.
Recently, I tried the baked tilapia where I work, at their cafeteria. The server started to scoop something odd-looking onto the fish fillet. I asked what it was, and his reply was, “mango salsa.” Hmmm … I can’t say I’ve ever had mango salsa, or even heard of such a thing. It didn’t look like your ordinary salsa either.
It tasted wonderful. It was a perfect combination: the baked tilapia and cold mango salsa.

I remember reading a magazine article, back when I was a young or pre-teen, of an actress (don’t remember who it was) who kept her beautiful looks, in part, with the help of a fruit facial.

(I only remember reading about strawberries and bananas, but figured I’d add the cucumbers to the facial.)
Just about anyone reading this can grow strawberries and cucumbers. Many of you can also grow bananas.

I had my first taste of a marinated portobello mushroom nearly 13 years ago at an Italian restaurant in Indianapolis. I was pleasantly surprised I enjoyed it as much as I did. I was equally surprised at the texture: it was like eating a tender, juicy steak… but not “chewy.” (If I recall correctly, it was even served with a steak knife.)
I’m not a big fan of mushrooms. I don’t add raw mushrooms to my salads, or order extra mushrooms on my pizza (although I’ve finally stopped picking most of them off my pizza). However, I’ve come

One of John’s favorite meals is spaghetti, which is nice, because it’s an easy meal to make. Occasionally, something I like to make alongside spaghetti, to fancy it up, is sautéed mushrooms. Not just buttery sautéed mushrooms, but more of a “gourmet”-styled sautéed mushrooms. Don’t let the word “gourmet” scare you off. It’s REALLY easy to make.
For those who have never cooked with wine (not that I’m an expert… this is the ONLY thing I use cooking wine for), something you might appreciate knowing is that, as you simmer or boil the cooking wine, the alcohol eventually
